traditional tales

In English we have been learning about traditional stories and tales like little red riding hood, Greek mythology, and the many, many fables written by Aesop.

In class I focused on Norse mythology which has characters such as: Thor Loki Odin and Heimdallr

The main thing I made was a recreation of Yggdrasil: the world tree using modelling clay and black paper.








After that I modelled a snake body and used a toothpick to carve out scales on the top and bottom of the serpent and had a line slit through the the sides of the serpent so I could hold it properly without damaging the scales




I learnt that many things we think of as fairy tales or any other types of story aren't actually what we think they are, for example, some of us think that the ugly duckling is a fairy tale but it isn't

  1. Joel, what do you mean by The Little Mermaid is not a fairy tale but something that Disney just made up?
